The Blue Board

damn good question

There aren't that many big time schools anymore than are going after the pro-style quarterbacks compared to 10 or 20 years ago. Also, most schools only take one quarterback a recruiting season so it's pretty risky to offer a quarterback before he's even completed his junior season of high school.

Like you're the end all be all of talent...

Did he say that they were?

Is it possible he hasn't reported all of his offers?

MSU writers have been on commit watch with him for a couple weeks.

Or maybe, just maybe, he's close to committing to MSU.

This is an adjustment we are all going to have to make with ranking prospects earlier. There are going to be times when guys have no offers when we rank them and schools want to get a look at the players in camp, etc. In other words, the offer list isn't always going to add up when ranking prospects this early.

Henderson also transferred high schools this past season, so in all honestly some recruiters may be having trouble finding him.

Another thing to consider is that quarterback scholarships are limited, so programs have to be picky. They can't go offer 15 guys publicly anymore because you will scare some off and end up with none.

There is no doubt, though, that Henderson is an excellent quarterback prospect and deserving of his ranking. He's got size, a big arm, is smart and while he's not a blazer, he's athletic enough to do some damage in the run game.

In looking at the other 2014 quarterbacks, you'll quickly see that there are very few quarterback offers going out. There isn't a single quarterback who has an impressive offer list, including the top rated quarterback in this class. In this case, it might work out very well for Michigan State in that they have next to no competition to land one of the top quarterback prospects in the country because they're willing to risk an early offer.

I think we'll see quarterback offers explode after the season ends and all of the junior season film begins to circulate.

Saw that, interesting.

Also realized that not as many schools had put out QB offers as I thought had done so. For some reason I thought a lot of the big schools had offered 1-2 QB's, but I took a look and didn't see as many as I thought.

Reportedly, he wanted to commit to MSU, but was not able to because of academic concerns.

I think he's stated that he's a huge tOSU fan, but that tOSU isn't looking for a pro-style QB under Meyer so his chances of getting an offer from the Buckeyes is very slim. I'd assume that he'd be a Buckeye if offered though.

If Henderson is as good as advertised, then MSU should be worried about a commitment anyway. His recruitment reminds me a bit of Jayme Thompson (think that's the kid's name). Seemed sick of the recruiting process and committed to WVU really early. Then, as soon as he got the offer he wanted (OSU), he flipped immediately. Not saying that will happen, just what it reminds me of.

And yeah, I actually don't see OSU offering. But if the Alabama's of the world come calling, would be interested to see how he handles it. Some kids stick when you don't expect them to, some don't when you do.
